Does anyone have any episodes of "Barley Charlie"? It will be PD in a few years

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Australian TV copyright last 50 years? Does that mean that "Barley Charley", Australia's second television sitcom (and the first for which anything survives) will be PD in 2015? Does anyone have any episodes? Honestly, they couldn't be worse than anything on MTV lately. Being crushed to death by sand wielded by a handsome young ninja named Gaara would be more fun than MTV's line-up.

Also, does the same apply with British childrens shows produced on film? If so there's a show I will upload in 2017....

I guess I don't mind you re-upping them here, so long as I'm credited as the source.

I wouldn't rely on any pre-1964 commercials automatically being public domain - there's the audio component to take into account as well. The "Louie The Fly" Mortein was made in 1962, so the vision is PD, but the sound's not.

Still, in cases where the brand / product no longer exists, you'd be pretty unlucky to ever be taken to task over it (unless the ad uses library music from someone like KPM or Chappell, etc).

Thank you. I often get requests for non-US commercials in my "Classic Commercials for Defunct Products" series of videos on YouTube. (unlike on the Internet Archive, I am far less concerned with copyright on YouTube). On the next video, I will give you credit and link to your YouTube account.

It is a series of videos compiling commercials for discontinued products.

EDIT: just edited together episode 42 of the series. Five US commercials from adviews section, and five ads from your account (ranging up to 1970s). I will give you credit for the five ads.

I was looking through print ads of the late-1950s (which are presumably still copyrighted, so I can only use them on YouTube, not IA) and was surprised to see that many of the brands advertised still exist, with some exceptions like Rinso, Healing, Kwit, etc...
